Story Archives, a TV and Film Podcast

On this week’s episode of Invasion by Story Archives, we break down Season One, Episode Three, titled ‘Orion’. We catch up with the alien invasion gang starting with Trevante, who has miraculously survived his encounter with the Alien Spacecraft in the desert and is now under the care of a wandering Nomad. We find Mitsuki emerging from her state of mourning determined to get to the bottom of what happened to Hinata. Casper and his schoolmates are now at the bottom of a rock quarry, tending to their severely wounded teacher and the power dynamics at play with Monty the bully. And Aneesha navigates her family out of the city as they figure out their next steps, all while dealing with her marital issues.

Starring Sam Neill, Shamier Anderson, and Shioli Kutsuna, Invasion is an Apple TV Plus Original Science Fiction (Sci-fi) series that follows the story of five ordinary people across the globe as they struggle to make sense of the chaos unraveling around them following an alien invasion that is a threat to humanity.

Join us this week as we kick off our commentary coverage of Invasion, by Story Archives. Week to week, hosts Mario Busto and Zachary Newton will be breaking down each episode of season one just in time for the premiere of season two on August 23rd. Starring Sam Neill, Shamier Anderson, and Shioli Kutsuna, Invasion is an Apple TV Plus Original Science Fiction (Sci-fi) series that follows the story of five ordinary people across the globe as they struggle to make sense of the chaos unraveling around them following an alien invasion that is a threat to humanity. On this week’s episode, we break down Season One, Episode One, titled ‘Last Day’. We are introduced to Jim Bell (Sam Neill), a Sheriff on his last day of work struggling with the idea of retiring with an unfulfilled career, Aneesha Malik (Golshifteh Farahani), a mother of two grappling with a recent discovery of her husband’s infidelity and whether her decision to throw away her Medical career was the right choice, and Mitsuki Yamato (Shioli Kutsuna), a JASA Engineer who is having an affair with Japan’s most popular Astronaut, Hinata, who is about to embark on a year-long stay at the International Space Station.

Invasion was created by Simon Kinberg (X-Men, The Martian, Deadpool) and David Weil (Hunters, Citadel) and premiered on October 22, 2021 on Apple TV+

On this week’s Deep Dive Episode of Foundation by Story Archives, hosts Mario Busto and Zachary Newton break down the premiere of season two, titled, ‘In Seldon’s Shadow’. It’s been 138 years since season one and the reign of Cleon the 13th is now in the hands of his successor Cleon the 17th, who is anything but a regal example of the Cleonic Dynasty. He’s broken with all tradition, pursuing romantic relationships that could very well put the future of the empire at risk. Meanwhile, somewhere between life and death, Hari is grappling with the steep learning curve of being an immortal 4-dimensional being. On Synnax, we catch up with Gaal and Salvor who are perhaps on the most awkward mother daughter date that’s ever occurred, while they try to find a way off the planet. That is, if Hari and Gaal don’t have a reckoning first. Meanwhile, on the Outer Edge of the galaxy, the Foundation on Terminus is thriving and forming alliances with neighboring planets. Little do they know, the Empire is now aware of their existence.

On this week’s Instant Reaction episode of Foundation, by Story Archives, hosts Mario Busto and Zachary Newton break down the premiere of season two, titled ‘In Seldon’s Shadow’. In it, we reunite with Hari Seldon, who seems to be trapped in some sort of after-life Labyrinth of his own mind and consciousness. We catch up with Clean the XVII who has his hands full with bedding Demerzel, fending off an assassination attempt, welcoming his new bride-to-be Queen Sareth, and strategizing on what to do with the news that the Foundation has been forming alliances with other planets in the Outer Reach. And on Synnax, we see Gaal Dornick and Salvor Hardin having a mother-daughter reunion as they attempt to reboot the Beggar and get off the planet before they’re wiped out by a hurricane. Woah! That was a lot…and season two is just beginning. It seems Apple TV is taking it up a notch with this season of Foundation, even going so far as to push the series in a more Game of Thrones type direction by hiring Alex Graves to direct three of this season’s episodes. More political intrigue? Check! More romance? Check! More combat strategy and violence? Check!

We invite you to join us each week as we prepare to cover season two of the epic Apple TV+ Sci-Fi Series titled "Foundation". Stay tuned for our Friday Instant Reaction Episodes and our Sunday Night Deep Dives. And until then, please respect and enjoy the peace.

Join us every Friday and Sunday as we prepare to cover season two of the epic Apple TV+ Sci-Fi Series titled "Foundation". In season two, we reunite with Hari Seldon and his plan to form a revolution against the Generic Dynasty of Cleon and his Empire, through the Foundation. We also reconnect with Gaal and Salvor and learn more about their role to play in the uprising.
Adapted from the original series written by Isaac Asimov, Foundation stars Jared Harris (Hari Seldon), Lee Pace (Emperor Day), Lou Llobell (Gaal Dornick), Leah Harvey (Salvor Hardin), Laura Birn (Demerzel), Terrance Mann (Brother Dusk), and Cassian Bilton (Brother Dawn). Many consider the Foundation the Godfather of the Sci-fi genre, having inspired classics like Dune, Star Wars, and Blade Runner. After a 50 year battle to get adapted for the screen, we are in luck, because Apple TV has brought it to life and it is one of the most entertaining shows around currently.
